Thx for the heads-up

Lost $10 earlier today.. two bad beats in a row. Both instances a <10% on the river shafted me. Very frustrating.

But made my $10 back just now. As I play more, the intricate psychology of the poker game is revealing itself to me bit by bit. And in 6max, this is actually more important to maximize your profits than in 10max.

Most of this $10 profit came from bluffs actually, once I figured out when and how to launch this properly. (this from the same guy who asked two days ago how to bluff! haha) It seems 'table image' is the most important factor here. This dictates opp behavior a lot more than how tight or loose they might be. Fish go with their emotions. Near the end, I think I was a pretty dominating presence. To give one example, a guy checked on the river to me, holding a flush!

And if you're the dominating presence in a 6max game, your profits will come from bluffing and downplaying a good hand. And if you take the pot a couple times in a short timespan, then would be a great time to get that winning hand.. because 'bluff suspect' kicks in on the table, and people might get tempted to tilt and call you on it

Etc. I'll give myself 2-3 days to solidify my game a bit before I go multi-tabling with this approach.
